Agreed

Thank you Will. The Blaupunkt Bremen to which you refer is a lovely thing but does indeed look too dated for a late 129. I have decided to go for an Alpine head unit because I like the sound characteristics and quality. Whilst aftermarket, the Alpine units are not as garish as some of the...

All - I have just acquired a 98 SL320. The Audio 10CD fitted to the car looks great but doesn’t work. Are replacements or sympathetic modern upgrades fairly easily available? Can the extant unit be refurbed in some way or is this too expensive to do? Ideally I would like modern functionality...

Update... have just acquired a 98 SL320 in silver with black/wood interior. It has just come back from the workshop having had all fluids changed and new Michelins and a few other bits and pieces. Looking forward to good times in this car; although my mileage in it has been limited so far, it...

Thank you

Very kind of you however I am looking for a UK car. Thank you and best of luck.

Hi All, I joined this forum some years ago when I had my second W201 2.0 Auto; have owned my Tenorite/Black, P30-equipped, 204 C63 wagon for 4 years and am looking for an R129 (preferably a late 320) to keep it company. I can’t post in the Wanted section due to post count but would be very...

Oh yeah - it's a '91/J-reg, I don't know if this makes a difference. Thanks again

Please can someone advise on what needs to be done on my 190E 2.0? It's 128k service is imminently due. Many thanks :)

In order to be able to finance some building work and to pursue a couple of other things, I have to sell my car. I'm very sad to see it go and would ideally like to see it go to a good home. Here are the details: 1992/J-reg Metallic grey with black cloth interior 124k miles with full...

Found out yesterday that I have to replace both the centre and front sections of the exhaust on my J-Reg 190E 2.0 because of corrosion. Luckily I was sitting down when I found out that, because of the cat, the front section alone is going to cost in the region of £350, exc. fitting. Are...

Should be introduced to the "Art of Castration" IMO

Lincoln's Inn, London where barristers are based: L1BEL on an Audi coupe which I thought was pretty cool
